Thanks for you service and thanks for the reality gut check.
Thank you. I just don't think some people realize how hard these tours are on the grunts. 15 months is too long. I can't believe that we haven't enlarged the military more during the past 5.5 years. The government is trying to fight this war on the cheap. They also know that they can't rapidly increase the size of the military without a draft, which they lack the political courage to do.
